A Textual Commentary On The Greek NT

Luke 23:42

Luke 23:42 eivj th.n basilei,an {B}

Although the reading of î⁷⁵ B L al has, from one point of view, the appearance of being a scribal correction (eivj being considered more appropriate than evn with e;lqh|j), a majority of the Committee preferred it as more consonant with Lukan theology (compare Luke 24:26) than either of the other readings. The reading of most witnesses, o[tan e;lqh|j evn th|/ basilei,a| sou (“when you come in your kingly power”), and still more the reading of codex Bezae, evn th|/ h`me,ra| th/j evleu,sew,j sou (“in the day of your [second] coming”), reflect a developed interest in the eschatological kingdom.
